A friend (that's YOU Miss Lily) sent me the link to these short films. I was deeply grateful for being transported away from Colorado for a few moments. Three young men embarked on the adventure that we ALL want. No offence Elizabeth G., but this trip appeals to me more than Eat-Pray-Love. The editing here is crazy-good in addition to the cinematography. Here's the caption on the shorts:
3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage... all to turn 3 ambitious linear concepts based on movement, learning and food ....into 3 beautiful and hopefully compelling short films.....
= The trip of a lifetime.

Move over Elizabeth, these boys got you beat! Not dissing on the whole Eat, Pray, Love thing cause it's beautiful too...but these boys know how to adventure and make killer great little films. Editing extraordinaire! Thanks for the little world tour. Amazing. xo
